The latest controversy sweeping the United States by storm is the death of 17-year-old Trayvon Martin in late February. Through using disciplines such as race and history this topic has been dissected. Many have asked why is this story just surfacing, who is the death of Trayvon Martin effecting, and what exactly happen on the horrific evening that ending in Trayvon’s death. Recently the 911 call George Zimmerman (the neighborhood watch who shot and killed Trayvon) made to the Florida police department was released and is currently being analyzed.
Sari Horwitz reports about the allegations that have been made about Zimmerman muttering a racial epithet on the call, but the tape is unclear. If the epithet can be heard more clearly on an enhanced audio version of the tape, it could be evidence of a hate crime, the officials said. The latest justice being served for the Marti family is the upcoming briefing on Capitol Hill about racial profiling and state “stand your grounds” laws. They are not expected to testify at the hearing, which has been organized by Shelia Jackson Lee (D-Tex.) and other House Democrats.
All of these factors in the case make it harder for the public to digest the facts. Over the past couple of weeks Americans have banned together to create justice for Travyon and his family. Only time will tell when that justice is served.
